Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi, Everyone.....Cher....thanks for the smiles and trip down memory lane!!! Is she spraying raspberries or spitting water from the fountain? Yes, Gareth use to do the spraying water from the fountain and he was suspended so many times for it. My response to the school was *Who did he see doing it at the fountain?* It's not like we have a fountain at our house and we took the time to teach him to do it!!! Noooooooo, he learned it in school from another kid who did it when the teacher's back was turned. All the kids laughed and Gareth would do it, too, to get the kids to laugh.....which they did.....only reinforcing it to Gareth!!! Problem is, our kids don't know how to be sneaky and turn around so the teacher doesn't see them spitting/spraying water on each other. I guess I would have the teachers respond with a firm *no, that's rude*, and then, ignored it and not reinforce the behavior with any more words than necessary. Once she finds she's not getting the response she wants, she may back off. She sounds like a smart cookie to me if she won't do it when Mom is around and only to the teachers!!! I don't think you're giving her enough credit for her brains!!! Take care, Everyone. Margaret Mom to Garth, 22 y/o, DS/ASD/OCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
